Emlid Reach LoRa Antenna - RS3 / RS2+ / RS2 / RS+

Emlid Reach LoRa Antenna brings long-range RTK correction communication to Reach base-to-rover workflows, enabling field teams to maintain correction links where cellular coverage is unavailable.

• Keep LoRa workflows operational: The antenna is required for the built-in LoRa radio to transmit and receive RTK corrections, making it a critical replacement or spare for field kits.
• Work without cellular coverage: The 868/915 MHz LoRa link supports base-to-rover RTK correction transmission at distances up to 8 km line-of-sight without an NTRIP connection or SIM card.
• Support multiple Reach receivers: Compatibility across RS3, RS2+, RS2, RS+, original RS, and the Reach M+ LoRa Radio provides one antenna option across multiple Emlid workflows.
• Prepare for remote fieldwork: Long-range LoRa communication supports surveying, forestry, environmental, and mining operations where LTE connectivity may be limited or unavailable.

Overview and Who It's For

The Emlid Reach LoRa Antenna attaches to the LoRa antenna port on compatible Reach receivers and enables the built-in LoRa radio to transmit and receive RTK correction data between base and rover units at distances up to 8 km line-of-sight. It is also compatible with the Reach M+ external LoRa radio module used on UAV and mobile mapping platforms.

• Surveying and mapping teams: Keep a replacement or spare antenna available for base-to-rover RTK workflows operating without cellular network access.
• Forestry and environmental teams: Maintain LoRa correction delivery during remote-site surveys where cellular coverage is unavailable.
• Mining teams: Support RTK field operations at exploration and active mine sites where LTE connectivity is limited or unavailable.

Important: Never power on the LoRa radio without the antenna attached. Operating the radio without an antenna can damage the radio module.

FAQs

Do I need this antenna to use the LoRa radio on my RS2+ or RS3?
Yes. The LoRa antenna must be attached before the built-in radio can transmit or receive. Never power on the LoRa radio without the antenna connected -- operating without an antenna can damage the radio module.

What happens if the antenna is lost or damaged in the field?
The LoRa radio link goes down entirely. You would need to switch to NTRIP corrections via LTE or adjust your correction method on site. Keeping a spare in the field kit avoids this scenario.

Is this the same antenna that ships with the RS2+ and RS3?
Yes. This is Emlid's official replacement part and the same antenna included with new RS3 and RS2+ receivers at time of purchase.

Does it work with the Reach M+ LoRa radio module?
Yes. The antenna is also compatible with the external Reach M+ LoRa radio module used on UAV platforms and mobile mapping rigs.

Can I use a third-party LoRa antenna for extended range?
Higher-gain third-party antennas with an RP-SMA connector at 868/915 MHz can extend range beyond 8 km for specific applications. Contact our Solutions team for recommendations if your workflow requires coverage beyond the standard range.
